I'm assuming that the dust cap is plastic. Use some tape and try carefully to lift it back up. I know planet10 and a few others have some techniques they use for fixing this stuff.

If you have a good shop vac, just stick it on fire it up, should pop right out if the vac is strong enough.

Method 3
Take a dowel of wood and some hot glue. Hot glue the dowel to the middle of the dustcap dent and let it dry. Then pull the dowel out and pop the dent out. When you're done simply peel off the hot glue and dowel. This should work rather well as the dustcap is probably some type of plastic and hot glue will not penetrate it and peel off after a bit of prying. If the dust cap is some sort of cardboard or paper... It will rip some material off. I'd say this method is probably the easiest and most effective. Tape will work only if the dent wants to pop back out or the material is flimsy(I'd guess its not judging by the type of sub) or you have some REALLY strong tape. The shop vac probably wont work too well because in my recollection RF makes their dustcaps with a 3-d logo and the shop vac will likely not provide adequate suction even with a very high power vaccum. P.S. that is the dustcap of the speaker....

Another, more direct, option is to remove the metal mesh from the pole vent and use a peice of dowel or similar to push the dust cap into shape from behind.

Does the cone move back and forth freely? My friend had a JL Audio 10W6 that froze in place in the down position. I'm guessing the VC welded itself to the pole piece. You better check and see if that Rockford isn't the same way or your "friend" just sold you a dead woofer. ![]()
